CASE STUDY
The outer edge of the bar is surrounded by a dramatic wing-like arc of metallic lights , signifying the rebirth of the Power Station . Alan Ellis MD of Ellis Design Studio added “ The design of the bar , with its radial canopy , seeks to capture the forms and momentum of the original power station turbines . The semi-circular sweep of arced feature lights to the outer edge of the bar is designed to suggest the capturing of a moment in time between rotational movements , thereby creating a sense of tension , anticipation and dynamism ” Similarly , the utilitarian aesthetic of Control Room B closely informed the selection of materials for the scheme .
The bar is fabricated almost entirely of metal in a variety of forms and finishes . Amber hued , domed textured lights to the bar front are suggestive of the viewing portholes into the original coal furnaces , which powered the turbines .
